Brad Favors 07/29/2014 They told us when the contest started that the leader board would go dark the last week of voting so keep voting until the contest ends the 31st and winners are announced on Aug7th

07/27/2014 Dog Parks help raise the value of your property and are the 3rd thing people ask about when buying a house in a new city. First they ask about schools,then buses and then dog parks. Some one is spreading a lot of false rumors about cutting down trees, taking out the walking path and putting a fence around the entire park and turning dogs loose in there. ALL FALSE, OR ALL LIES. NONE OF THE ABOVE WILL HAPPEN, This park will be well maintained and kept clean. Keep voting, nice surprizes are about to happen for us.

07/22/2014 There are much better resources for dog park information than a blogger stating their opinion. For example, the book Dog Park Design, Development, and Operation by Marilynn R. Glasser or Off-Leash Dog Play: A Complete Guide to Safety & Fun by Robin Bennett.

Al Stumpmier 07/21/2014 Here is one link to the good and bad of dog parks. Things to consider when money is raised and plans move forward.
Might have to copy and paste.

Sharon Schaller 07/20/2014 I feel a dog park ia an access to the city of Taylor. I know people who are paying fees to other cities to use their dog park. As a dog owner in Taylor I would enjoy having one in our own city. It is great for the dogs, it is a safe place for them to run and socializy with other dogs. You have my vote.

07/20/2014 NO TREES WILL BE CUT DOWN IN BOARDMAN FOR TH EDOG PARK AND WE WILL HAVEA DOG PARK. Every neighborhood has a person that complains about everyhing that doesn't personally concern them. One man on one street will not stop what will benefit the community. Spreading false rumors will not stop the park either. Everyone will benifit fromthe improvement to Boardman Park. Better drainage will help alleviate the mosquito problem and better parking for sledding in winter. Good things will happen there. Keep voting.

07/20/2014 Good morning, I dont want anyone to feel down about being in last place. Even if we dont win we won't stop. We have many fundraisers lined up as well as other things to make money.WE "WILL" HAVE A DOG PARK IN TAYLOR.i will not stop tell we do. We have a few people in this BIG city that want to see this fail and that's not going to happen. KEEP VOTING......We have a lot of prizes we can win that will help with the dog park as well. The site will be in the hands of the City Council and I can't see any of them saying NO. Knowing that Taylor has so many dog lovers thay are working so hard to have a park. Thanks everyone for everything your doing and we will continue to push forward!!!!!!

Joyce Favors 07/16/2014 We're doing better now. We may not have the most votes but we have the most honest. No cheating going on here. Thanks folks.

07/14/2014 Keep voting people, we talked to people at the Festival and after seeing the plans for the park they are all excited for the park. A lot of the people in that neighborhood want to help with fund raisers to be a part of the improvement of Boardman and raising property values. It raises property value, vacent homes get sold and everyone wins.

Patricia Case Anderson 07/14/2014 Thank you Dorothy Winsten!

Joyce Favors 07/11/2014 PLEASE PASS THE WORD IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA OF BOARDMAN PARK. THERE ARE NO PLANS TO CUT ANY TREES DOWN. The latest rumor going around is that we plan to cut down all the trees.THAT IS A FALSE RUMOR. I just talked to Hennessey Engineering and the marks on the tree were put there by them for survey purpose only. They were doing a topographical map,for land elevation and looking for a straight path for handicap entry from Haskel to the dog area. I've posted the current plan map and the entry will be changed due to elevation. It will angle in more from closer to the pavilion. We thought they may have to snake a path but Ray said they found a straight line. Now you know as much as we do about the plans. Not only will no trees be cut down but we will plant a few more in the dog area for shade and maybe some near the benches.

Al Stumpmier 07/08/2014 The spots on the trees and roadway were done by Hennessey Engineering as a courtesy for Councilwomen Linda Roberts so she could get an estimate of what it would cost so she can plan the dog park . It was no charge to the city of Taylor.

Denise Brooks 06/30/2014 I'm with poster, Donna! No problem with dogs, but we all enjoy the park now -- dogs, walkers, bikers, runners. It will be half desert with almost 200 trees gone from my favorite section of path. I walk there DAILY (weather permitting) and those trees are beautiful! They have fluorescent paint on them, now. I wonder who gave permission for them to be defaced this way? Why can't dogs, people, and trees co-exist? And in Taylor, a city that used to be known as "City of Trees!" Makes no sense, whatsoever!

Donna Pearl Olinzock 06/30/2014 Why are all the trees at Boardman Park sprayed? Will over 199 trees be cut down? These are mature Maple, oak, spruce and other trees that are deemed landmark trees according to Taylor tree preservation. People with and without dogs enjoy the park. Why ruin the existing park?

Joyce Favors 06/27/2014 WE have a Taylor Dog Park booth at the Taylor Festival. Come see us at the blue tent located in back of the Sheridan Building. We will be there all day tomorrow until the fireworks at 10 PM. See you there.

06/27/2014 Dogs need socialization & ours doesn't get any with other dogs. This would be a great way to socialize her with other dogs & enjoy play time with them. Right now when she sees another dog she runs up to them like a little tough girl & kind of scares the others or puts them on the defense. She's never actually got in a fight with another dog, but she really needs to work on her approach lol.

Sharon Schaller 06/26/2014 I would love a dog park in our city. They can run and play. Dogs need to socialize with other dogs and they need room to run off a leash. I think it is a wonderful idea.

holly smith 06/23/2014 I been walking the park for a long time, love watching the people and the dogs. Very comforting also love the ducks

Al Stumpmier 06/23/2014 There will be a petition at the walk on Thursday for anyone that in opposed to Boardman Park as a site for a dog park. Homeowners only can sign.

06/23/2014 We gotta WIN 1st!

Al Stumpmier 06/23/2014 there are other options that will be put on the table once a study session comes up with areas to consider.

Angela Edwards 06/23/2014 The park being considered is Boardman Park.

Jennifer Paxton 06/23/2014 2,060 - I heard that the Papp Park is the one being considered for the dog park?

Al Stumpmier 06/23/2014 Petition will be going around for opposition to a park being built at Boardman Park. Another area needs to be talked about. Great to have a dog park, just not at Boardman Park.
